Among the numerous forms of fungus

Among the numerous forms OF fungus
which live upon higher plants tmany of
which are so detrimental to their hosts)
arc some, it is now believed, which live
with these on terms of mutnal assistance.
A scientist found that the young root
points of some English forest trees, as
the beech and the oak, are covered with
a coating of fungus (probably belonging
to the trulfle or allied family which
seems to help in the nutrition of those
trees. Another interesting case is that
of fungi which live with orchids, and
whose mode of propagation has lately
been established.

Culture Of Clover.

If agricultural experience, within the
present decade, has proven one impor-
tant fact more conclusively than any
other, it is that the culture of clover ex-
erts remarkable recupcrative and restor-
ative effects, which are not surpassed
nay, equalcd by any other fertilizer.
Over sixty years ago, clover culture OBJ
tainM to considerable extent in Eastern
Pennsylvania and a few other Atlantic
States, and was practiccd Systematically
BY the better class of farmers, particu-
larly as an auxiliary to wheat-growing.
This, the afte math was cut for hay and
seed-principally for the latter-and
then the sod was turned under: the com
post and stable manure hauled out,
dumped in heaps and spread over the
ground, when the latter was thoroughly
narrowed and made ready for sowing.
Of later years the extraordinary virtues
of the clover plant arc better understood.
Its presence on we'll titled farm is
deemed indispen able as green manure,
supplying the thr C most important prin-
ciples of productive soil, nitrogen, phos-
phoric acid and potash. 1t is the belief
of many observers, also, that fields of
clover, springiug, growing, fourishing
and dying, exert positive sanitary in
fuences on the surrounding atmosphere
similar to those attributed to groves of
the eucalyptus tree, ':an.idoting' mala-
ria, so that diseases Of miasmatic origin
are not liable to spring up or exist among
meads or. fields Of trcfoil. Indeed, the
clover plant is the king of the grami-
neou, and should be planted wherever it
can be grown. We may add, we are un-
acquainted with any part of this wide
spread country, North or South. which is
not favorable to the produy ton Of clover.

Attention to Farm Horses.

We arc all familiar with the care that
is given to trotting horses and even coach
horses. And what is the object of this
care2 With the coach horse. perhaps,
the purpose is to add to the appearance.
That is not the purpose, however, with
the trotting horses. What is it then?
Why all this rubbing and blanketing and
gentle exercise while cooling off 1t
costs great deal of money to give such
attention, and therefore it must be pre-
sumed that the object is an important
one. The purpose is the preservation of
health and perfect condition. What
would be the result if the trotting horse
were treated as many of our farm h)rses
are treated2 Some of them are strangers
even to the curry-comb. They are carry
ing all the dirt that at cnmulatcs on them
from day to day, except that they rub or
shake some OF it off. They come into
the stable wet with perspiration and are
left in that condition. Frequently they
are watcrcd while hot and fed while hot.
They are stuffed with hay, and put to
hard work while gorgcd with bulky
food. Is it not profound wonder that
horses which are thus neglected do not
break down much sooner than they do?
Of course the man who thus neglects his
horses pleads the hurry of the season,
and there is no objection, except upon
humane grounds, to treating his horse
as he may like. But does it pay2 Is it
profitable to wear ont two dollars worth
of horse to do one dollars worth of work
Does it pay to waste horsc::csh in order
to save in SINE other direction2 We do
not believe that there is any profit in that
sort Of management. If team is worn
out in one half the time it ought to be
there is very reckless waste of money.
1t is not necessary to give the farm
horse as much attention rs the trotter re-
ceives. But it ought to be thought nee
essary to give the animal good attention
and to insure its comfort to the utmost
practical limit. There arc millions OF
dollars sacrificed by reckless care Of
horses. People do not seem to appre.
ciate this vast loss. Horses arc injured
and killed as if horse cost nothing.
Let US be careful of this very valuable
property.

WASHINGTOE MATTERS
The House Rec des and Passes the Senate
Ketaliatory Bill

w ASlllNGTON, March 1.-The Senate re
taiatory bill being under consideration in
the House, Mr.. WorthingtOn of Illinois
favored the bill, Practical legislation was
wanted. The government had protested
through the secretary Of state and the
minister to England against the wrongs
and aggresSione Inflicted upon american
fishermen, hut the protest had 50 far been
in vain. Then the policy of retaliation
was suggested, but it would have been
better that it should never have been en-
tered upon than that it should tail because
of difference between the two Houses.
Mr.. Grain of Texas said he had original
ly favored the Senate bill because he
thought that Congress was in earnest on
this subject and ought to pass a retaIatory
measure as speedily as possible aud be
cause viewing it from political stand
point he thought it would be to the adj
vantage of his party to divide the hOnOrs
with the Senate by passing the measure.
ACtudted by the same motives now and
having IN view the good of his country
and without reference to party he be
lieved the House ought to recede from its
amendment and support the Senate bill
After prolonged debate the report of
the conference committee was agreed to
Mr.. Rice moved that the House recede
from the amendments to the Senate bill.
Reed SAID the gentleman who lived away
from the scene of the controversy could
afford to make this question matter of
politics, but those who lived in New Eng
land had not that right, nor did they de
sire that privilege. There ought not to be
war or a shadow of war in the transac-
ton. What was needed was some peace
full means such as an international law
which would be effective. The question
presented was whether the politicians on
the other side would permit this just meas
ure to be defeated and take away from the
democratic president the right and power
of using peaceful means to settle the ques
ton. Rice's motion was agreed to- yeas
l49, nays 1874. In effect this action is to
pass the bill exactly as it passed the
Senate.
